As a specialist in welding and cutting automation solutions, DIG is committed to helping heavy fabrication industries, such as shipbuilding, transportation, aerospace, energy, construction machinery, and rail transit industries to raise the level of productivity.
The panel line is the main production line for ship construction, which is usually divided into main processes such as butt welding, marking, cutting and polishing, stiffener assembly and welding, T-beam assembly and welding, outfitting, etc. Through this production line, all processes from raw material steel plates to the entire ship section are automated.
The panel line greatly improves production efficiency in ship construction. Through standardized operating procedures and mechanized equipment, each link is closely connected, reducing waiting time between processes and significantly increasing the manufacturing speed of the panel line, shortening the overall construction cycle of ships. In terms of quality control, the precise craftsmanship and stable equipment operation of the panel line ensure the accuracy and consistency of the products, reducing quality fluctuations caused by differences in manual operations.
Our complete construction solutions for thin panel production line include service of workshop planning, efficiency calculation, overall layout of production line, detailed design of production line equipment, manufacturing, installation and commissioning, training and after-sales service. There are different process options for different ship types. The processes usually include joint plate welding, line cutting and grinding, stiffener assembly, stiffener welding, parts (T-row, ribbed plate, casing) assembly, parts (T-row, ribbed plate, casing) welding, outfitting, lifting and delivery etc.
The laser-arc hybrid welding technology is widely used in Engineering machinery application, such as crane jib, excavator hydraulic jib, excavator shaft axle seat, and port stacking machine etc.
